1968 Pontiac GTO - Project Car - Video #2

[@805ROADKING]

You guys aren't wasting any time!! Nothing wrong with a nice driveable restoration!! They're more fun to drive than look at anyway!!☺

[@RamblinAround]

Yeah, we're getting right after it. Thanks for watching my friend, we appreciate it!

[@danteenglish7867]

Nice gto you don't see many anymore keep up the good work

[@RamblinAround]

Thank you for watching, we appreciate it!

[@ziggassedup]

Love the sight glass in the float bowls...At least if you strip it and note the mods you'll know what you've got...You'll have it on the road quicker than you think Jordan...I'm excited for you mate.

[@RamblinAround]

Yeah, we really like the sight glasses for setting the level. Thanks Zig, I appreciate that ~ Jordan.

[@The1FastGP]

My thanks for restoring a beautiful muscle car and givijng it a chance to roam the road once more.

[@RamblinAround]

Thank you, we appreciate you watching. This should be a really fun project.

[@treefriar8791]

That car has character as it sits, so you`re wise to enjoy it as you rebuild. Have fun with it, and I`ll definitely be tuning in to watch!

[@tonny.c]

This is a beginning of some great series. Hope your channel blows up thanks to these!

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks, we appreciate you watching!

[@jamespeterburch]

Keep em’ coming! Just got a 68 Mercury Cougar here in the U.K. I may make a few vids on it

[@chriswiseman5143]

Nice work Jordan! I don’t see anything wrong with your plan. I’ve always thought it’s more fun to drive a car than to sit around bragging about how perfect and original it is. Keep up the good work! I’m excited to see the car solid and sealed with a running motor!

[@RamblinAround]

It will feel nice to get the car to the point where it's solid and running. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

[@Ary769]

I'm an old Goat Man ftom the mid 60s so this build is special to me thanks for posting and updates, great job.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for watching, we appreciate it my friend!

[@stillltippin5758]

Looking awesome! Cant wait to see more!

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks, we appreciate you watching. We're putting another update together right now.

[@Terraceview]

I love your videos, hope I'll have the same relationship with my son!

[@RamblinAround]

Thank you, that's very nice of you to say. We appreciate you watching!

[@Rick-Williams59]

There's no rules that say you have to restore it to all original specs, it's your car so build it the way you want it. Watch out for the Pontiac purists. LOL. Great car to fix and drive. Keep posting and I'll keep watching.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks Ric, hopefully people will be content with the fact that we're keeping the original engine and transmission. We'll keep the update videos coming, thanks for watching!

[@tombankwel4822]

Such a cool project! Glad you guys are going to get it in good drivable condition. Can’t wait to see more update videos!

[@TheRooster1122]

Cool guys thanks for the update...staying tuned...

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for watching my friend, we appreciate it!

[@kevindopp955]

Fantastic car!! Thanks for the update.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks Kevin, we appreciate you watching!

[@jeffdean64]

That's an awesome project car and I admire your ambition. Here is one note of caution, though: Primers, including professional epoxy primers, absorb more moisture than you might think. If you subject primed steel to beaded moisture enough times, it will begin to rust. Ask questions at your local automotive paint supply shop and I think they'll confirm this. (Or just put some primer on a clean piece of steel and leave it outdoors.)

[@zacharywatters1843]

Great video. Just found the page today and love it already! Keep up the great work guys.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks man, we're glad you like it. We appreciate you watching!

[@chevyfox18]

[@RamblinAround]

That's cool that you have an 87 too, good luck with it. We appreciate you watching all the videos.

[@kbtruck65blair64]

Thanks for bringing us along, looking forward to seeing more of the build. Awesome GTO.

[@4evaavfc]

Awesome. From New Zealand, keep up the good work. Neat car.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! Someday, I'd like to make a trip to New Zealand, looks beautiful.

[@not2fast4u2c]

I do feel younger watching this video seeing a car from my teenage years in the 70's..A good primer and a flat black paint job is good enough for me ...Put my money in the engine and tranny ..and those big fat tires on the back !!!! I really would like to see you clean up the factory wheels .Just to use them on the car as you working on it

[@RamblinAround]

Jim, I'm with you...I always like the look of the factory wheels too. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

[@JostheRebel]

This is why i subbed to your channel...

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for watching Jos, we appreciate it!

[@darrinsinger4231]

I had never seen your channel before you posted the first video on this car and honestly I like what I am seeing and subbed, don't know why your channel doesn't get more attention

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for watching and subbing, we appreciate it!

[@MrJack7916]

Sweet 68 man love the gto

[@dylanmorin2534]

Evercoat rage gold. It's expensive but boy does it ever make everything easier

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Wow man, you guys work fast. Your channel is very Inspiring too. I wanna give you a quick tip, don't ever spray sparks on glass Windows wile grinding, the sparks will fuse to the glass like little speckles and you won't get the pit marks off. Keep it up man 👍👌✌

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for the reminder, we appreciate it.

[@arturols1]

Great video guys

[@RamblinAround]

Thank you, we appreciate you watching!

[@southernfriedhippie]

I keep hearing about the replacement steering center links sold for these cars. Basically they are slightly too short. Just mention it for when you do frontend work (someday). Its worth checking.

[@animal25551]

As long as the frames solid and not rotted out finish up the body drop your motor in and drive it. Ive been working on mine for 3 years now and it was supposed to be a get it running and drive it the way it was deal and slowly work on it. Now its got a built 12 bolt all tubular control arms 4 speed 469 pontiac all forged bottom end with ported aluminum heads lol. And ive yet to drive it

[@RamblinAround]

They do tend to get out of hand sometimes :) Sounds like you have an awesome build going there. Thanks for watching our video, we appreciate it!

[@ayooPatriotboii]

Let me drive it

[@certified68crazy3]

Just a quick thought and not a criticism but protect any glass that you are grinding around it can etch the glass . As always take care my friends .

[@RamblinAround]

I was actually thinking that as I watched the video too. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

[@nobullshit9721]

Yea that is actually a good point it’ll pit your glass

[@crashnburn3980]

I need to do alot of this stuff to my nova, I just don't know alot about body work, don't know which primers to use and which fillers.

[@indyme2]

Good stuff. Enjoyed the video.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

[@265chevy]

You are a smart man i made that mistake with the big dreams and 20 yrs later or longer the car is still not driving and now i decided to just get it to together and drive it.A lot of people should listen to your wisdom and enjoy your when you are young not at 55 like me because life get in the way with a wife a house and kids there you go your car dont get done.Later great job.Oh i Have a 68 Chevelle not to different from yours

[@RamblinAround]

Thank you very much. Yeah, it's better to get them running and enjoy them first. Then you can always improve things a little bit at a time later. Too many cars get pulled apart, then never go back together. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.

[@CravingClassics]

Moving along!

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for watching!

[@kenbell8058]

Same carb I got on my 69 chevelle BBC they are good I like it

[@davidjohnson8474]

Being that much done to the engine you might check the crank. They might have put a 455 crank in it? If the heads aren't done might think about 6X heads. They flow awesome! I've had so many Pontiac's over the years. The HEI will save you so many headaches cause dwell on a point distributor are such a pain! Your really lucky the body is in such great shape! Keep up the nice work!

[@RamblinAround]

We've pulled the heads now and we're measuring everything. We'll definitely check the crank out, before we go any further. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

[@davidjohnson8474]

I bet you and your dad would like the cars I have in storage in PENN! A 1941 ford 2dr super deluxe with 34000 miles and a 1972 mustang sprint red,white and blue for the 72 Olympics! Its a coupe

[@masoncampos7043]

455 cranks don't fit in 400's the mains are way bigger lol

[@RamblinAround]

You can turn down a 455 crank to fit, but it's actually cheaper to use an aftermarket stroker crank.

[@stefanwinter1377]

Epic. Subbed

[@RamblinAround]

Thank you for watching and subbing, we appreciate it!

[@stefanwinter1377]

RamblinAround I wonder how that channel gets so little attention!

[@cobycorum322]

That car came off my dirt road 560th Southwest Missouri , I recognize it:-).

[@mrpaulgrimm6129]

I love to watch metal work.its art. I’d rather have a daily driver

[@HDawwgyDawg]

Where did you order your pans from?

[@debonairecatalina6570]

Those fel pro valve cover gaskets are really finnicky and they can piss oil all over the motor, get yourself some thick rubber ones whenever possible

[@RamblinAround]

Ok, thanks for the tip.

[@josephlacy7131]

You don't need an adapter .with an Edelbrock intake

[@donaldseidel4136]

Where's neighbor's old car ('69 gto)

[@slimjim119]

It needs a 4 speed or 5

[@christ510]

Looks like a California car. How much you pay for it.

[@forterierocks]

I don't like concourse cars, if I'm building a car I'm building it to drive the piss out of it, My 75 Olds Starfire is just a 305 4 speed I painted in my garage and just have fun with. A 350 is in its future.

[@RamblinAround]

That's how we feel, it's a lot more fun to get the car driving and use it.

[@slimjim119]
